This Man Just Does NOT F'N LISTEN!!!!!!!!!

Last month's election was, in many resepects, a referendum on Iraq.......and if that was the case the President did not do very well.

Even a month after that, this CBS News poll shows that whatever support this man had has evaporated..

On top of that.....this:

Army Captain's Simple Demonstration: How to Win inIraqOfficer Killed in Battle, but His Ideas Live OnBy MARTHARADDATZ

Dec. 15, 2006 — - President Bush has spent the last few weeks engagedin complex briefings with senior military officers, State Department officialsand outside experts as he tries to come up with a new plan to achieve victory inIraq.

But a young captain serving in Iraq's violent Al Anbar Province hasoffered a simple explanation of what the problem was in Iraq and how to solveit. Among his observations is the importance of having a moustache inIraq.

In a military known for its sleep-inducing, graphically dizzyingPowerPoint presentations, the young captain's presentation, which has beenunofficially circulating through the ranks, stands out. Using stick figures andsimple language, it articulates the same goal as the president's in Iraq.

The creator of this PowerPoint presentation, "How to Win in Al Anbar,"was Capt. Travis Patriquin.But Patriquin will not see victory in Iraq. Hewas killed by the same improvised explosive device that killed Maj. MeganMcClung of the Marine Corps last Wednesday.

Patriquin had fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. A gifted officer, hespoke numerous languages, including Arabic."How to Win in Al Anbar" may notmake it to the desk of the president, but maybe it should.

From www.abcnews.com Breaking NewsPRESIDENT BUSH LIKELY TO SUPPORT A SURGE OF MORE THAN 30,000 ADDITIONAL U.S. TROOPS TO IRAQ, ABC NEWS HAS LEARNEDTHIRTY THOUSAND MORE AMERICANS TO DIE IN THIS CRUSADE!

And don't think it's about oil. If it were, the oil companies would be on DubDub's case on this....bad for the image (also, gas prices would be up to $5.00 by now). The real reason is so insidious, I hesitate to mention it. But the bottom line is after all of this, we will be sending 30,000 more men and women to die for Bush's evangelism.

This is not war, this is murder. And if this is not an impeachable offense, I do not know what is.
